Chapter 118: The Water of Lethe

"Lord Wang, you will be gracious. We've lived here all our lives, and we all want to go out and see it. It's just that we are too old to move around, and even if we go, it will only cause you trouble, so it is better to let these children go and see it and have a real experience. ”

An elder stood up and said to Ling Yi'an, as if he was serious.

This elder is recognized as the elder in this village, and he has great respect for his neighbors. Now, since he has stood up to speak for this child, it means that everyone in this village has such thoughts.

Ling Yi'an didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. But these villagers, no matter what, are kind to themselves, to Qingwan and Yunyou, and even to Tianlang...... It's better to push the boat with the water, and follow their wishes, which can be regarded as a reward.

"Well, since you all say so, then this king doesn't matter. However, all of you who want to go with this king must register and make a record of life and death. lest something happen ......"

In the last sentence, he said very softly, after all, he himself has no confidence and does not know how risky this move will be......

"Thank you for your grace!"

When the people heard this, they knelt down one after another to express their gratitude to Ling Yi'an.

If you can really get out of this village, it can be regarded as a creation and a person.

"Well, red tape doesn't have to be too much. Time is pressing, and we have to hurry up and get on the road. ”

Ling Yi'an waved his hand, got on horseback, and looked at the thousands of soldiers and villagers following behind him, and couldn't help but feel that he had a great task...... It can't be said that these people should all make any great achievements for themselves, and risk their lives to protect themselves...... What he wants most is that these people can complete this experience safely, return to their homes safely, and reunite with their families.

That's what he was thinking.

It is precisely because of this that he has to be more careful not to have the slightest mistake. Whether it is a move or a decision, it is necessary to give these people the greatest security.

"What's so dangerous about the road ahead?"

As Ling Yi'an walked, he leaned over and asked the little soldier with the map beside him.

"Lord Wang, I won't tell you, there is another ...... not far ahead Everyone is dangerous. ”

Dangerous?

Is there some mountain beast, or is there some strange snake in the water?

He thought about it, and he actually hit a spirit straight on his body. It stands to reason that these creatures, if they don't provoke them, shouldn't get into much trouble themselves. It's terrible, it's the kind that you never want to hurt, but it has something for you. That's what really hurts people invisibly.

"What the hell is that. ”

I have to say that when he was afraid, he was still a little curious.

Although he is a mortal, he does not have a body that is indestructible, nor does he have any unfathomable skills. But what is different is that after going through so much, he has a vision beyond ordinary people. Maybe after going through the mountains and rivers, he can understand the size of the world, the fierceness and sinisterness.

"Back to the prince, this is a river, it is said to be endless, there is no end, it is a river that can make people lose consciousness and do not want to die. Commonly known as Lethe. ”

Lethe: This is the place.

Ling Yi'an's brows tightened, he seemed to be in a trance, and he didn't remember when it was, and he heard Yun You talk about this. It's just that in the past, I just saw a few pictures hand-drawn by the masters in the strange stories, and I haven't seen the real Lethe, what it should look like.

Lethe River, is it that when you cross that river, you will forget everything?

Or is it to cut off his past life relationship......

It seems that the road to the country of immortals is really not easy to walk. Those who can get there must be the best among those who have real skills. Expect yourself not to live up to everyone's expectations.

"How far is it to get there?"

"Lord Wang, it's not far away. ”

He replied as he looked ahead.

I don't know if I was hallucinating or what, but it was a dense jungle in front of me, but in an instant, it turned into a river.

What's going on here?

"This ......"

He was a little confused, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Is this an illusion? But why does it look so real?

He didn't even dare to go any further, and stopped there with his whole team.

"It seems that the rumors are true. ”

It is rumored that Lethe River is invisible, and as long as the mind is strong, it may appear in any place, regardless of a certain area.

In other words, did you meet it so quickly?

For a while, Ling Yi'an couldn't react.

"Lord Wang, shall we go or not?"

The soldier holding the map, behind Ling Yi'an, asked cautiously.

To go or not to go......

You can't stop here all the time, that's not a problem.

"In this way, this king will go down and take a look first, you guys are here to guard, be sure to protect the two people in the carriage, and these unarmed peasants, understand?!"

His tone was very tough, as if he didn't want to give others any room to maneuver.

"Yes, little one understands. ”

He couldn't take so many people on an adventure for no reason...... He had to find a way to pass through safely, otherwise he would have a hard conscience to move forward so rashly and disregard the lives and deaths of so many people.

With that, he rolled over and dismounted. Fang Cai looked at the river that was still in the sky, but there was a shape in the distance, and it seemed to move forward by itself, so it came straight and came to him.

One step, two steps, three steps...... Every step you take is a struggle with your own heart.

He was afraid, but he was compelled by the invisible mission...... Everyone is his responsibility, and for their sake, he can't throw off his armor and run away on the spot......

It seems that at this time, Ling Yi'an understood some truth. Why do some people go to great lengths to get to a high position, but they are depressed after they get to a high position...... Why do some people enjoy the glory and wealth of the house, but some people only deserve to eat bran vegetables in the corner market...... None of this is because of anything else, but because of a word, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

If you want to have a wealth that breaks the sky, then you must not even accept this, then it is no wonder that there are so many people who regret it.

Slowly approaching, Ling Yi'an Tsai took a closer look, and found that the water of Lethe River was not as clear as he imagined. Instead, it was muddy, like no one had cleaned it in years.

You must know that the streams and lakes in the Tianlang Palace are all crystal clear, but Ling Yi'an thinks that the palace people in the palace live in such a noble place, and no one dares to slack off.

Just thinking about it, Ling Yi'an suddenly stopped, and not far away, he seemed to see a figure.

With his back to himself, he sat by the Lethe River, as if he was about to fall in the next moment.

There are people who are really afraid of people.

After all, this is not a stable place, and it is not impossible for a jackal, tiger and leopard to come out halfway.

"Who's here? ”

The figure suddenly made a sound. will make Yi'an's whole person give a spirit.

Listening to this voice, it looks like an old man, and it doesn't really match his upright figure.

"The sky is bright and Yi'an, and I begged Lethe. ”

Come to think of it, the one who can sit here must not be a mortal. After all, there is no mortal in this world who would come to such a place and still sit here and speak to himself in the tone of an elder.

It's probably the person in charge of this place.

With a slight blink of his eyes, when Ling Yi'an looked again, there was an extra boat beside the man. It's just a blink of an eye, and such a big thing can be conjured up so easily, and it's really not a mortal.

"Why do you want to cross Lethe. ”

Why.

What do you say? In order to fulfill the emperor's order? In order to save Qingwan?

"The contemptible people want to go to the country of immortals. I heard that if you want to go to the country of immortals, you must pass through this Lethe River, so the contemptible people came. ”

After saying a word, there was no response for a long time.

Ling Yi'an was a little puzzled, so he took away his saluting hand, and quietly looked up, but the figure in front of him was gone.

Huh? This ...... A good person, why is it gone......

He was a little puzzled, and he was a little helpless, he just wanted to go to Guirui Fengyu to ask for medicine for the two friends of life and death...... Why are there so many hardships and hardships along the way...... Not to mention, it's not a matter of disobeying the law to come and go, why is it so difficult......

He has never ascended to the sky, but he also thinks that this should be no different from ascending to the sky......

Anyway, he's also sincere, isn't he?

"It's a place that no mortal can ever set foot in. ”

No mortal can step into it.

Where?

Before he had time to wonder, Ling Yi'an was startled, and the sound that suddenly came out of his ears made him a little nervous. But when he looked at it, he was really startled again, the person in front of him was not an outsider, he had the same face as himself, he was simply another Ling Yi'an.

How so?

"You...... Who are you?!"

He couldn't help but pull out the sword in his hand, not wanting to hurt others, just thinking about protecting himself.

Who is it...... Why do you have the same face as yourself......

It's scary......

"I am who you think I am. I can be whoever you want me to become. ”

The old voice said, shaking his body slightly, and he turned into Chu Ning's appearance again.

It's just that his male voice is very dramatic...... It would be nice if you could learn Chu Ning's delicate and lovely voice......

Although he knew in his heart that the person in front of him was not Chu Ning, he didn't think too much about it...... Because of this, at least it can alleviate his lovesickness.
